You’re still viewing it from today’s perspective. We distinguish natural philosophy from chemistry, physics, etc. - they did not.

They did however call natural philosophy “Physics”. From their perspective all our fields fit under physics, except for applied science which fits under crafting (as natural philosophy devalued empiricism).

The Greek very much had a concept of Physics.

The word physics comes from the Latin physica (‘study of nature’), which itself is a borrowing of the Greek φυσική (phusikḗ ‘natural science’), a term derived from φύσις (phúsis ‘origin, nature, property’) (Wikipedia)

Also note that Aristotelian physics was the dominant paradigm in Europe almost until Newton.

There’s an argument to be had that engineering didn’t exist as a science until recently. Several of the more famous engineering treatises name it as crafting.

That’s very revisionist of you.

What we call physics today wouldn’t qualify as physics in Ancient Greece, where they described how the world actually works, and not bothering with this empiricism nonsense.

There are plenty of textbooks of physics before then, even predating Greece. Waterworks, astronomy, ship building, architecture, war machines, not to mention metaphysics, alchemy, atomic theory, etc.

We didn’t have a rigorous scientific method until thereabouts though.

Such a pretty kitty!

Technically you’re correct, however, the unevenness of the cast iron pans is harder to clean and thus effectively retains more flavor. In common parlance: the pan absorbs flavor even though the iron doesn’t (let’s gloss over the few things that do bond to iron).

Beyond cast iron, which is cast and thus has a rough surface from the molding. Carbon steel pans are made from sheets and then shaped, it’s the same material, only different processing. But the sheet is smooth, meaning less nooks and crannies for stuff to hide behind come cleaning time.

Also, have you considered the feel of grass against your fingers, I hear it’s lovely this time of year.

I use a carbon steel pan, as I find the smoothness much easier to keep clean (smaller pores than cast iron).

I spent some time seasoning it at first (6 layers is a little overkill, I did 8, don’t be me), and now I just lightly scrub/wipe off any food or oils after cooking and reseason maybe monthly if that. My pan is dry and clean between uses.

If I burn food or it sticks for some other reason, I scrub harder. If I need an abrasive, I reseason afterwards.

Reseasoning includes cleaning thoroughly with detergent to get any soot off. Then rubbing in oil with cloth, and drying off as much as possible with a clean cloth before popping it into the oven for an hour. Wiping it down gives thin, even layers.

If need be I repeat up to three times.

I’ve used them for 4-5 years now without issue.

My cast iron grill pan absorbs more flavors though, so that needs a lot more cleaning if switching between cuisines.

Haha, I like your funny words magic man

I only ever have my shit together just before pushing it out of my life.

What is pcmusic? Chiptunes?

Died and often killed, don’t forget that demonstrations are the compromise for a civil discourse. When not being treated civilly, it quickly becomes a mob and the lynching begins.

Except for the people who have XXY and rarer combos

It’s easy, you just add -ie to bourgeois.

The -ie ending is from French and is like a hand-wavy ending meaning “that lot”.

Happy to help

See other comment for early video. It’s also available on the tubes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DCDMizuHG-k

It is apparently from 2008, a spinoff of a Hikune Miku nod to Leekspin (ancient era Internet meme).

This is fantastic, does anyone have a link to the dancer’s video?

Would such a thing be possible? Maybe I’m cynical, but wouldn’t any process of getting input to the politician be vulnerable to professionalised influence, and any insular politician isolated from their constituents?
